Caran d'Ache Red Metal Sharpening Machine – Professional Pencil & Pastel Sharpen

A desktop sharpening machine provides more control and consistency than a conventional handheld sharpener, particularly when working with larger-diameter artist pencils and pastels. The adjustable sharpening system lets you choose the type of point required for different drawing applications.

The Red Metal Sharpening Machine accepts both round and hexagonal tools from 4 to 10 mm in diameter. Its interchangeable cutter and substantial metal construction make it suitable for studio use where pencils need to be sharpened regularly and accurately.
